Researchers treated mice with the cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) — a type of immune system protein which is involved in asthma and other allergic diseases.
They found that it led to significant fat and weight loss but it was not caused by a decreased food intake or faster metabolism.
Instead it was because the TSLP stimulated the immune system to release lipids through the skin's oil-producing sebaceous glands.
This reversed obesity in the mice and reduced their weight from 45g to a healthy 25g over a four-week period
Any chance this could become a future supplement?
